Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The text appears to be correct as it is. What is says is that __init__ must not return any value other than None and that is correct, you will get an exception when you return a value that is not None.
>>> class C(): ... def __init__(self): return 42 ... >>> >>> C() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: __init__() should return None, not 'int' >>> The text is basically a language-lawyer way of stating that __init__ should return by either running of the end of the method, or by using a bare return statement. ---------- nosy: +ronaldoussoren _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
